On December 17, 2012, AMC Networks Inc. ("AMC Networks") issued, and certain of AMC Networks' subsidiaries (hereinafter, the "Guarantors") guaranteed, $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due December 15, 2022 (the "Notes") in a registered public offering pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated December 10, 2012, among AMC Networks, the Guarantors, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto. AMC Networks used the net proceeds of this offering to repay the entire outstanding amount under its term loan B facility in an amount equal to approximately $588.0 million, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. The Notes were registered by AMC Networks under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185361).
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 17, 2012, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, also dated as of December 17, 2012, among AMC Networks, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum and mature on December 15, 2022. Interest will be payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2013. The Notes are AMC Networks' general senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of AMC Networks' and the Guarantors' existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, but will be effectively subordinated to all of AMC Networks' and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness, including all borrowings and guarantees under AMC Networks' senior secured credit facility, to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness.
